Join a VINS educator as we explore dinosaur discoveries! Meet some of T. Rex’s great, great grandchildren and get a chance to touch a living fossil in a program featuring VINS live animal ambassadors. Next brush up on your paleontology skills and join a scavenger hunt for dinosaur bones. Follow clues and learn facts to put together pieces of a dinosaur mystery. Lastly, join in for some Jurassic crafts, learn how fossils are made, and design your very own dino!

"Great place to spend a few hours with kids. My kiddo loved the creative playground, dinosaur exhibit and treehouse room. We went through the raptor aviary three times the Snowy Owls were her favorite. We didn't make it to the canopy walk because it was raining but I believe that's the main attraction. Still, even without this we really enjoyed several hours. Would recommend bringing a stroller if your kid isn't a great walker as stuff is a little spaced out and the trails are extremely accessible."
